Week 12 Playoff Wrapup
* #1 The King’s Crusaders (9-2): After downing the Monkeys and a Pylons loss, the King stands in sole possession of first place. Any of the following in week 12 will lock up a first round bye: King win, Pylons loss, Monkeys loss. A King win AND Pylons loss would lock up #1 overall seed.
* #2 Stanky Monkeys (8-3): By virtue of head-to-head tiebreaker with Pylons hold #2 seed, although these teams meet week 13. This week’s game is much more meaningful to other teams as both the King and the Ari Golds would benefit greatly from a loss, but the Jackson Five would love to see a win here.. Cannot lock up a bye in week 12.
* #3 Dueling Pylons (8-3): From #1 to #3 in a matter of a week and still does not have a top 3 seed locked up. While unlikely, 2 Eyepatches wins, 2 losses, and a 117 point swing in scoring could land this team in 4th. Similar to Stanky Monkeys, this week’s game has no bearing on whether or not this team gets a bye. Again, the King and Ari Golds hoping for a loss, and the Five are looking for help to sneak in the back door with a Pylons win. Also cannot clinch a bye in week 12.
* #4 Animals With Eyepatches (6-5): Instead of playing with chance, the Eyepatches took care of business against the Pylons in week 11 clinching a playoff spot. This team will almost certainly end up in the 4/5 matchup. With games against desperate teams in the Jackson Five and the Gnomes, the win last week was huge. One of these final two games could be a potential playoff rematch.
#5 Tequila Party Gnomes (5-6): Even though that Patron may be on ice, the Gnomes are red hot. After consecutive victories, the Gnomes are in prime position to grab a playoff spot and can clinch with either a win or Jackson Five loss. A victory this week would almost guarantee 2 consecutive weeks of Gnomes-Eyepatches. Hopefully the Gnomes won’t be throwing this week’s game to try and get out of this. The King is pulling for you.
#6 The Ari Golds (4-7): I’ve been preaching it all along. This is not the time of the season that you want your team to hit a rough patch. The Golds have lost 3 straight and have not cracked 90 points in a month. Now with games against the league’s top 2 teams, this team may be drawing mud with a desperate Jackson Five team right on their heels. Now that the season series has been split, the tiebreaker will go to total points, where the Golds have only a 22 point lead.
#7 The Jackson Five (3-8): After weeks of futility the Five have finally responded. Needs to win at least 1 more game than the Golds to get in. 2 Gnomes losses, 2 Golds wins, and 2 Five wins would still leave the Five out on tiebreaker. Needs to win and get some help, but the week 11 win has this team right in the mix. Could this team be the 2008 version of last year’s Crusaders?
x #8 My Team Is Awful (1-10): Finally put out of your misery with a Week 11 loss. Hopefully you show up at the draft next year and can play spoiler in the final two weeks. The league would appreciate a win over your brother.
